Documentation

The documentation for this project is served as ReStructered textfiles. They have to be processed by sphinx to get the HTML rendered version and code documentation from docstrings. Since sphinx is already install as a dependency, you need to load your virtualenv and call make.

• source $venvpath/bin/activate
• cd docs
• make clean && make html

The resulting documentation is located at: doc/_build/html/index.html
